A Self-Calibration Algorithm for Binary Model Goodness of Fit Test

Given probability function Pr(X,beta) along with a large population of continuous predictor X and response Y, there is an obvious motivation for testing accountability of model Y~Bernoulli(Pr(X,beta)). This paper develops a powerful profile based algorithm, classification-error-rate-self-calibration (CERSC), for global goodness of fit test. We consider classifying the subject with covariate X into Y=1 or 0 by comparing Pr(X,beta) with threshold tau, Pr(X,beta)>tau leads to Y=1 and Pr(X,beta)
